Here is a wonderful video introduction to Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s brand new book THE WISDOM OF STABILITY (Paraclete Press 2010), which is perhaps my most anticipated book of 2010, and this video only makes me more eager to get my hands on it!

Just in time for Easter, here are two excellent videos of NT Wright discussing the importance of the resurrection of Christ for the Christian faith. We will be running a review of Wright’s newest book After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters, in our next issue due out this Friday.

I have really been getting back into the works of Walter Brueggemann recently, his two newest books are fabulous ( An Unsettling God and Journey to the Common Good — click for our reviews) and I just picked up a used copy of his classic The Land while I was in Grand Rapids.

So, I was excited to find out about this six-part series (each segment is about an hour long) that Brueggemann gave last Fall on the book of Daniel and what it means for the people of God to be a holy people. (H/T: Ragan Sutterfield)

Brian McLaren’s newest book A NEW KIND OF CHRISTIANITY (HarperOne, BUY NOW from ChristianBook.com) was just released last week, and now TheOoze.tv is featuring a series of videos with Brian that engage the content of the book.

Here is the first of these videos. Stay tuned to TheOoze.tv for the subsequent episodes. Watch for a review of ANKOC coming soon in the ERB!

David Dow’s new book, The Autobiography of an Execution, “is in part an exploration of the politics behind the death penalty and an argument for its abolition. It’s also a memoir; Dow delves into how this line of work has affected his family life.”

Why does no one today speak as boldly and as eloquently against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as Dr. King did against the Vietnam War? It’s amazing how relevant his message against American militarism is today — 40+ years later.

You need, I need and we all need to watch these videos and to be challenged by the faithful boldness of Dr. King.
